About: I genuinely love spending time with animals. I am responsible, patient, attentive, and treat every pet with kindness and care. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or simply keeping them company, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I have taken care of my brother’s dog and love doing so! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for pets. I am available on weekdays except Wednesdays from 4-7 pm as I have a tutoring job, but after I am free in case your dog needs an evening walk or drop in! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special care needs. I am attentive, responsible, and will treat your pet and home with respect while providing loving and dependable care.
“Tori was wonderful with my dog! I booked drop in visits and couldn’t schedule a meet and greet beforehand, so I gave her a heads up that my Shorkie would be very anxious with a stranger coming in. Her first update put me completely at ease. She said he was too nervous to even take treats at first, but she was patient with him, and once she mentioned going for a walk he warmed up. After the walk she tried playing with his toys, but he just wanted belly rubs from her, so she gave him lots of belly rubs and he gave her lots of kisses. By her second visit, he was excited to see her! I booked her for 4 drop in visits in one week and it was excellent for my dog and my peace of mind Communication was excellent — detailed updates, quick responses. She was accommodating to everything my dog needed and so easy to work with. She went above and beyond, and I’d absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!”
“Leah is great with my dogs. After only 3 days, they are warmimg up to her. I feel lucky to find someone who loves dogs as mush as I do to drop in on them. She always manages the best photos, too!”
“Katelyn did a great job caring for Cantaloa and administering medicine for her. She took photos and gave informative updates, so I knew that my cat was well taken care of.”
“The best sitter you will find on Rover. Karina was very professional, kind and patient with my senior cat. She took care of them as if they were her own. She was very thoughtful and considerate of letting me know if something non-pet related happened. We had a rainstorm and our trash was full of water so she took the poop bags home to throw it away in another trash. She is very detail oriented and cleaned up the litter my cats managed to drag across the house. I really can’t say enough good things. If you want a sitter that is experienced, trustworthy and communicates… look no further.”
About: I’ve taken care of little fury friends for over 3 years. Always open to new ideas and tools whenever possible. I enjoy being active and incorporating play into everything. I am fairly open at the moment. Willing to adjust schedule to what seems fit. Love to make our fury friends happy in any way possible. I have a big outdoor space, just what our fury friends like! Willing to crate if needed. Whatever your preference is, just keep me informed.
About: I’ve had 5 dogs of my own since I was 23 and love animals of all kinds. Sadly, I no longer have any pets due to frequent travel these last few years. I live alone and work from home in a 4 bedroom house so I have a lot of time and plenty of space for your precious fur baby. I will take care of them as my own. Please note: Any puppies under 6 months old and/or not house trained will incur extra charge. I work from home so I have flexibility and time to attend to your dog’s needs as well as play with them throughout the day. I live in a 3 floor townhome and although I do not have a yard, I live in a very nice neighborhood with walking paths and very close to nature preserves and trails. I love to go for walks. I only take care of one pet at a time so I can focus on them with my love and attention.
“Susai was AMAZING! She sent the best photos and videos and genuinely cared about Kendra’s (my cat) experience and mine while i was away. Will 100% be rebooking with her.”
“Paul has been very responsive to all inquiries and instructions. He is a great communicator and is timely in his responses which is very much appreciated. He is also a delightful person to meet and work with. We just finished our first week with him and found him to be on time, thorough, and reliable. Thank you Paul.”
“Belle did a great job with our pups ! She provided photos and updates of our dogs . She spent time with them and followed our care instructions too . Definitely consider her again for pet sitting .”
“Haley is awesome! She is still the ONLY person other than me & my husband that our shy kitty will come out for. It means so much to us to know that Chickpea is well taken care of when we are away!”
“Shelby is just amazing with our puppy, Zoe! She has tons of patience and provides detailed feedback every day about her behaviors. It is great to know your that your walker cares so much about your doggie and wants to remain consistent with training techniques. We will use her as much as we can :)”
About: I have always owned a dog since I was young, I made sure they were always fed and hydrated. My favorite part was bathing my dogs and training them simple commands. My 5 month puppy had gotten sick and I nursed him back to better health, So I have experiences with syringe feeding and electrolyte intake. I work everyday but my wife is at home so she'll have lots of time to play with your pups and make sure they get their needed food and hourly restroom breaks. We're Usually available anytime of the day. I have a vet doggo named Apollo that would love to meet new furry friends, I make sure water stays in the bowl and we go out for frequent walks on the trail in our neighborhood. Our home is very pet friendly. I'm currently a full time worker but my wife is at home and we'll ensure your dog will have a good experience and make it feel like a 2nd home for he/she. I have a fenced yard and a dog to make your puppy feel welcomed and safe. We are always going to make sure your is happy and comfortable.
About: I have extensive hands on experience with animals of all shapes and sizes, from household pets to livestock. My background includes livestock handling and care, as well as working with dogs trained for herding and other working roles. I have a strong understanding of both canine and feline behavior, training, body language, and handling, which allows me to recognize what an animal is communicating and adjust my approach to their individual personality and needs. My experience goes well beyond dogs and cats. I have a particular affinity for exotic pets, including reptiles and amphibians, and I’m comfortable caring for animals that require more specialized husbandry and handling. I’m currently a chiropractic student pursuing a career working with both people and animals, which has given me an even deeper understanding of anatomy, physiology, movement, and overall animal health. Combined with my lifelong experience around animals and livestock, I bring much more than basic pet-sitting experience. I understand animal behavior, respect their boundaries, and genuinely enjoy figuring out what makes each individual animal tick. Whether your pet is a couch loving cat, high energy dog, working animal, reptile, amphibian, or something a little less conventional, I’m confident providing knowledgeable, attentive, and individualized care. My schedule is very flexible and allows me to make pet care a priority throughout the week. I’m only in class on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and even on those days I live close by and can easily check in between classes. The longest a pet in my care would typically go without seeing me is about four hours. The rest of the week, I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, playtime, or just keeping your pet company. I’m also happy to work around each animal’s normal routine as much as possible. I’d rather adjust my day to them than expect them to adjust theirs to me. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or theirs, my biggest priority is keeping them comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, medications, training, sleeping arrangements, and household rules. I live alone and do not have any dogs or cats of my own, just aquariums, so pets staying with me don’t have to navigate unfamiliar resident animals or a busy household. This also allows me to give them plenty of individual attention and makes my home a great option for pets that prefer a quieter environment or don’t typically do well around other animals. I’m very attentive to behavior and body language and adjust my approach to each individual animal. I’m comfortable with high-energy pets that need exercise, play, training, and enrichment, as well as shy, anxious, independent, or older animals that need patience and space to decompress. In a client’s home, I’m extremely respectful of both their space and their pet’s established routine. I’m also happy to continue any training or behavioral routines already in place so there is consistency while you’re away. Ultimately, I want your pet’s day to feel as normal as possible. The only real difference should be that I’m the one taking care of them.

“Cherie provides such a highlight in both our day as owners and our puppy’s day! She is organized and prepared, and shows our dog a great deal of affection and care. We love having such a wonderful resource to call on that we can trust in our home!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Farmers Branch
Lily was fantastic! This was my first time utilizing a sitter for my elderly dog. We arranged an introductory meeting and all of my worries and concerns disappeared. I was able to enjoy my vacation due to Lily’s loving care and detailed correspondence on a daily basis. I will definitely seek her out for services in the future!
Hayley takes amazing care of our pup, Beef! She walks him, gives him playtime, and feeds him during her visits, and he clearly loves spending time with her. She always sends updates, which we really appreciate—it’s so reassuring to know he’s being well cared for. Hayley is attentive, dependable, and wonderful with our boy. We’re very grateful to have found her!
Jamie did a fantastic job. Absolutely perfect. My wife and I were away for ~5 days and she came over to check on our 2 german shepherds twice a day. She paid attention to them, walked them, made sure they had food and water and overall just cared for them. Would not hesitate to book again, and we will! Highly recommended!
Dasia is great, punctual. She gets to know your pets. She asks questions instead of guessing when it comes to caring for your baby. She keeps special instructions documented in notes. I received daily pics of Little Lola. I am definitely comfort with Dasia watching my dog again! I’m glad I found her. She is great!
Emily has watched our dogs multiple times now, and we couldn’t be happier with her care. She has a wonderful connection with them, is extremely communicative and punctual, and is very accommodating to both our puppy and our older dog. I highly recommend her services and will absolutely use her again in the future.
Alexandra was great with Jaxx! This was a last minute request when my family member wasn't able to come for my surgery, and Alexandra was able to fit me into her schedule. She was attentive with Jaxx and gave him lots of attention. This was a stressful time for him since we just relocated back to Dallas; we lost his soulmate, Apollo, unexpectedly to a fast-growing cancer; and I had to have inpatient surgery. She made Jaxx feel comfortable and she said he did really well. Thank you so much for taking care of Jaxx and giving me peace of mind! If I need you in the future, I'll definitely rebook with you! ♥️
I can’t say enough good things about Sasha! She took amazing care of my pup, Foxxy, while I was out of town for 5 days. She was always on time for every visit, and I loved that she sent me photos and videos each day — it gave me so much peace of mind knowing Foxxy was happy and cared for. Sasha went above and beyond, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter. I’ll 100% be using her again!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Farmers Branch choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Farmers Branch with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
